How to Handle Guests’ Dietary Restrictions
Posted by: Denise In: After the Wedding|Cakes and Catering
When planning your wedding, it’s natural to think about how to incorporate food that will work for specific guests’ dietary needs. You
shouldn’t stress yourself out over this, however, because it would be impossible to accommodate every single guest with the exact food they’d like. In fact, most wedding guests understand that they should not expect any special treatment when attending such a large function, and will normally make do with what they can eat.
To help put your mind at ease, choose a basic meat dish for your meal as well as a meat-free alternative that will please those who do not eat meat. For even more leeway, consider having serving your reception food buffet style with a variety of foods your guests can pick and choose from. This is the easiest way to ensure all of your guests, regardless of their dietary needs, will have something to enjoy on your big day.
If all else fails, remember that this is YOUR day, and you cannot be expected to please everyone. Do the best you can, and focus on the most important part – your new life with your groom!
